‘Riverdale’ Star KJ Apa Opens Up About Breaking His Hand While Filming The Season 1 Finale

8 months ago

Our finale ep is so good I can’t stop thinking about it. Not to mention I broke my hand while shooting it. Mental.

“That was a gnarly day of shooting, I’ll tell you that much,” Apa told TVLine at The CW’s Upfront presentation in New York in regards to hurting his hand on set. “I wasn’t really punching the ice, but I got a little bit too excited.”

Although the New Zealand actor wasn’t punching ice like we saw on the finale, he did do some real punching, which led to his actual broke hand.

“I was punching a foam mat… [that was] sitting on the ice. It was cold, so I didn’t really feel it. It wasn’t until 20 minutes after that I realized I broke my hand,” he explained. “I didn’t tell anyone.”

Wow, what a trooper!

It seems like the rest of that episode, which showed Archie with a cast on and barely being able to play the guitar at the town’s Jubilee celebration wasn’t all for show. Who knew?!
